Picks for 2009

If you follow my Twitter account you probably seen my multiple #musicmonday tweets. Music is the fire that gets me going on my workouts and if i'm at a solemn mood its what tugs at my heart. Music also marks moments in time. When I came back from serving in Iraq Spring 2009, I went and visited family in Europe. Lady Gaga's The Fame fit so well as I walked the streets of Paris. It was a soundtrack to my adventure. In the same way Britney's Circus, helped me through many a workouts by pushing the weight for that last set. So here is my Single's list that helped move me though 2009

20: About A Girl- Sugababes- Boo! Keisha was dropped from the band, but I still love Brit Pop
19: Don't Trust Me/ Starstrukk- 3Oh!3
18: 3- Brittney Spears- Still love you even though you lip sync.
17: Tardy For The Party- Kim Zolicak: The song is so bad... its good!
16: That's Not My Name/Great DJ-The Ting Tings
15: Blame It On The Girls-Mika
14: Love Long Distance/ Heavy Cross- The Gossip
13: Heads Will Roll/Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
12: Bad Romance- Lady Gaga: I love everything she does!
11: She-Wolf- Shakira: Fun Halloween song
10: My Life Would Suck Without You- Kelly Clarkson: Great Pop song!
09: Black & Blue/Burial/Animal- Miike Snow: I appreciate Swedish artists that make awesome pop songs. I feel the angst in Black & Blue when he sings: I won't waste your time with my revelation.
08: Sober-P!nk One word says it all.
07: Defying Gravity- Glee Cast: Great show with a homage to Broadway's Wicked!
06: Sex on Fire or Crawl- Kings Of Leon: Damn sexy songs!
05: Lisztomania- Phoenix Hard to believe they're French. A song I found out by accident.
04: Sexy Bitch/When Love Takes Over- David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland, Akon & I know You Want Me- Pit Bull: These songs were my summer anthems. They remind me of hanging out in Miami, FL or Folly Beach, SC.
03: Fuck You- Lily Allen: Such a quirky song I downloaded her album in Iraq and loved playing it in my iPod as I walked around in London.
02: Took The Night- Chelley: Fierce! hottrannymess! Makes me dance! 1, 2, 4, 3 none of these chicks look better than me!
01: Pokerface- Lady Gaga: what?! I like playing poker

Grammies 2009


The Grammy nominees were announced this week. The nominees didn't really surprise me: Beyonce with 10, Taylor Swift with 8, Lady Gaga, Black Eye Peas and Kings Of Leon. Choices like French band Phoenix, The Brits own The Ting Tings and New England band MGMT made me giddy. I was disappointed Lily Allen's "It's Not Me, It's You", Mariah or La Roux wasn't voted for... Hall and Oats? WTF Really?!!
